A judge has dismissed a lawsuit contesting a transgender woman’s admission into a sorority at the University of Wyoming, ruling that he could not override how the private, voluntary organization defined a woman and order that she not belong.
In the lawsuit, six members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority chapter challenged Artemis Langford’s admission by casting doubt on whether sorority rules allowed a transgender woman. Wyoming U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson, in his ruling, found that sorority bylaws don’t define who’s a woman.
The case at Wyoming’s only four-year public university drew widespread attention as transgender people fight for more acceptance in schools, athletics, workplaces and elsewhere, while others push back.
Can you cite an example of this ever happening?

Women in prison have a lot more to fear from guards than trans women prisoners. If you’re really so worried about sexual assault of women in prisons, that’s where your efforts should actually be focused.

Look at you, completely ignoring the real dangers to women to focus on a minuscule one.
This is just your excuse to hate on trans folks. You don’t really give the first flying fuck about women. As a woman: leave us out of it. We don’t need your kind of “defense.”

I never thought I’d see a thread on Lemmy arguing that a group of young women should be forced to live with someone that they clearly don’t want to.
Good for you for arguing with them, I don’t have the energy this morning.
Your second example is false. Your first points to a systemic problem with Riker’s as evidenced here: https://www.bronxda.nyc.gov/downloads/pdf/pr/2021/39-2021 rikers-island-violence-indictments.pdf
“Since Grand Juries re-convened in late February/March of 2021, the Rikers Island Prosecution Bureau has indicted 37 cases involving assaults on staff as well as assaults by detainees on detainees. The majority of the cases were brought to the bureau by Department of Correction’s Correction Intelligence Bureau as investigations. There are currently approximately 268 open investigations.”
Looks like you found one example in amongst a whole bunch of other assaults which were not committed by trans people.

It’s so wild how you seem to think trans women are sexual deviants and that female rape victims cower in terror at the thought of a penis in their general vicinity.

I missed the first one, that’s problematic as an example, did you read what you linked to? The Guardian one is false.
The Riker’s one does seem to support your assertion but it’s mixed in with a whole bunch of other assaults because it’s Riker’s.

Oops, you said the quiet part out loud! LMAO

You don’t seem to put in the effort to have a well-informed belief either.
Which is another reason your opinion can be thrown promptly in the trash. Can’t even be bothered to read the sources and yet want to appear as some authority on the subject. Laughable, disingenuous behavior.

The best you could come up with was one perpetrated at one of the most lawless and violent prisons in the country, one that is not fit for purpose but hey, you think you won an argument so you enjoy that.
